The Actions flyout
The Actions flyout gives you an overview of all the action mods and external actions in your analysis. You can run actions ad hoc from the flyout, and pin your favorite action mods for quick access in all analyses.
Actions that have been pinned to the flyout are shown below the line. An administrator can pin action mods to the flyout using a preference setting. See Pinning action mods to the Actions flyout for more information.
You can run actions ad hoc from the flyout. Just locate the action you want to run, hover over it, and click the Run button to the right.
To view details of an action, you can hover over the action, open the menu to the right, and select View details. On the Usage tab, you can see where the action is used in the analysis.
On the Information tab, details about the selected action is shown. The signer of the action is always shown, and for action mods, information like API version and mod ID is also shown. If an action mod is saved in the library, the library path will also be shown.
- Saving an action mod in the library
You can save an action mod in the library. Once saved in the library, you can pin the action mod to the Actions flyout and run it ad hoc from the library. - Pinning action mods to the Actions flyout
Action mods that are saved in the library can be pinned, which means they will become available for selection from the flyout also in future analyses. - Running actions from the Actions flyout or the library
You can run actions ad hoc from the Actions flyout, and actions that are part of an action mod that is saved in the library can be run directly from the library. - Editing a configuration of an action in an action mod
If an action in an action mod is used anywhere in your analysis, for example on a trigger in a visualization or in an action control in a text area, a configuration has been created for that action. A configuration could also have been created as part of performing a test run of an action. You can see which usages and configurations that exist for an action in the Actions flyout. You can edit an action configuration from the Actions flyout using any client. - Configuring an external action
An external action can be reconfigured from the Actions flyout using any client.
